syrup79 8 Posted October 1, 2012 I am in Spring, TX. I am having a tough time deciding on Dr. Balette or Dr. Collier. Any advice? Also, if I self pay do I still have to go through all the orientations and hoops or can I just show up and have surgery like they do in Mexico? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

luckylady131 51 Posted October 2, 2012 I am in Spring, TX. I am having a tough time deciding on Dr. Balette or Dr. Collier. Any advice? Also, if I self pay do I still have to go through all the orientations and hoops or can I just show up and have surgery like they do in Mexico? I was sleeved by Dr. Collier on July 30th. I was a self pay as well. You meet with him, but don't have to do the insurance hoops. I was glad of that, but I researched this surgery VERY well (3+ years) before doing it, so I was fully ready for all the "downsides" that comes with this surgery - the depression, weight loss stalls, funny feelings in your stomach afterwards, etc. I was/am very happy with Dr. Collier. Very personable. Spent an hour with me one on one explaining the surgery, his procedures, about his team, etc. Everything worked out very well for me. I am 45 pounds down since surgery. Highly recommend Dr. Collier! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
